C F C Dm C G E
Many's the time I've been mistaken,
Am E7 Am
And many times confuse.
C F C Dm C G E
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken,
Am E7 Am
And certainly misused.
F G F C
Oh, but I'm alright, I'm alright,
F G E E7
I'm just weary to my bones.
F G C G D G
Still, you don't expect to be bright and bonvivant,
F C G E Dm C G C
So far away from home, So far away from home
C F C Dm C G E
I don't know a soul whose not been battered,
Am E7 Am
I don't have a friend who feels at ease,
C F C Dm C G E
I don't know a dream whose not been shattered,
Am E7 Am
Or driven to its knees.
F G F C
Oh, but It's alright, It's alright,
F G E E7
For we lived so well so long.
F G C G D G
Still when I think of the road we're traveling on,
G F C G E
I wonder what's gone wrong.
Dm C G C
I can't help it; I wonder what has gone wrong
C
And I dream I was dying,
G Am
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly,
G F C G
And looking back down at me smiled reassuringly.
C
And I dreamed I was flying,
G Am
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
G
The Statue of Liberty,
F C G
Sailing away to sea,
C
And I dreamed I was flying.
C F C Dm C G E
We come on the ship they call the Mayflower,
Am E7 Am
We come on the ship that sailed the moon.
C F C Dm C G E
We come in the age's most uncertain hours,
Am E7 Am
And sing the American Tune.
F G F C
Oh, and it's alright, it's alright,
F G E E7
You can be forever blessed.
F G C G D G
Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day,
F C G E
And I'm trying to get some rest,
Dm C G C
That's all I'm trying, to get some rest.
